About Camden
Camden is a surprise hit, probably as a result of some star baby cred: it has been chosen by no less than four celebrity parents since 2012. Gentle but not flimsy, Camden could be an updated spin on Cameron, Callum, or Caden.

Currently in the Top 200 in the US, and used on more than 2000 boys each year, Camden evokes the hip open-air market in London or the city in New Jersey. Plus, while it may feel purely contemporary, Camden has two classic literary ties: Camden Farebrother is a character in George Eliot's 19th century novel, Middlemarch, while Camden House features in Arthur Conan Doyle's piece, "The Adventure of the Empty House", part of his Sherlock writings.
